Episode : #352: The Benefits of Being Business Intrigued

Podcast Description

Kiera joins Jeffrey Shaw of The Self Employed Life Podcast to talk about a lack of business education in trade sectors. Both Jeffrey and Kiera have noticed the same pattern: Though people are often highly skilled in what they do for a career, they don’t have the business skills to cope. That’s where consultants (like the Dental A-Team) come in!

What’s the solution? Becoming business intrigued. You can’t get stuck in the cycle of only ever improving your skill set. Jeffrey and Kiera discuss the balance between passion in our work and harnessing business intrigue and how to excel in trade organizations. It’s an intelligent conversation full of inspiring takeaways.
